of this storm. this is not the only problem we just saw sweeney and they have 400 people without power from that. we have seen problems in the area, firefighters were out there because of a storm drain had clogged and it sent water shooting and it sent water two to three inches into a duplex and they spent a little over an hour cleaning up that mess. we did see some flooding and also possibly because of a blocked drain of some sort but this was south of the toll plaza as you were getting on 101 and a lot of buses are going through that on ramp and they were still cleaning that up. again we are also on sweeney and we saw a power poll that was damaged and that had sparked early this morning and we are still trying to figure

it out 400 people and we are still trying to reroute that. again you are looking at 19th and hollaway, being looking around the bay area we have seen lots of little problems, some flooding some trees some power outages and that will be an issue this morning even though the rain for the most part is gone. let's go to steve paulsen because the weather is not over yet, the rain may be gone. >> yes, also the front has moved through and it has roared out of the picture so we don't have to worry about that but we have really cool readings only 60s on the highs maybe some 50s in some higher elevations, it is into the sierra nevada but coming down you can see there is already a few hit and miss showers popping up to the north but they will increase later this afternoon so morning sun, windy cool breezy and this afternoon we will start to

cloud up, possible thunder showers and tonight showers will be endingit breezy and cool. right now golden gate bridge traffic looks good and we heard them talk about the standing water all over the bay area and of course you saw them talking about the standing water near the golden gate bridge earlier and we also have road debris out from some of the tree leaves and branches that have come down on this little mini storm we are having and just be careful especially if you are driving in wooded areas. also the morning commute looks good but we do have an advisory for the bay and san mateo bridges. on the east bay commute, that is getting busier and we will have another report coming up. 6:05 let's go back to the desk. our storm watch continues throughout the morning so stay with us. steve is monitoring any changes on storm tracker 2 and we will have more changes in about five

they were told they had to wait so i don't know if they will end undergoing home or what. if you take a look behind me, there is a lot of media here as well as other workers simply waiting around, they are not being told what to do so many of these guys will end up having to go home and they will have to get some sort of clearance. you can see some of the flashing lights and big tankers that have stopped. i don't know if they are from the quarry but again a shooting at quarry, we are told two people are dead and four in critical condition and we will try to get some more information and keep you updated. tara moriarty ktvu channel 2 news. time now 6:07, there is a new poll that shows military veterans that served in the september 11th attacks show the wars in afghanistan and iraq were not worth fighting.

cruising along into the sonoma coast and into the city. let's go to the latest image and i will zoom in and let's see where this direction is going. it is mainly going east right over the golden gate bridge back over to the marina district into the city and let's hold on a minute maybe not, let me try it again, no, it is not going to let me do it. what you have to understand, let me put it into motion, there could be some hail embedded and that will be the theme as it goes into southern marin county and the key is some of these will go really intense and clear out and be really cool. a possibility of thunder showers, there goes our cold front and here comes the cool unstable air and we will have temperatures in the 40s and

50s before we start to rebound. one system comes through and here comes the system swinging off the north coast so a possibility of thousand and thunder showers, good news is we will warmup for the weekend but very windy and cool, possible showers and hail, upper 50s in the higher elevations cold thursday morning, with your weekend in view it will be sunny and warmer. time now 6:44. it was a shocking explosion that happened in franklin ohio. look at what happens seconds after three firefighters went into that burning building. and in sierra, you can see cars backing up and we will have an update coming up. if you are driving on the bridge, you can see slowed traffic on that stand, we will tell you more coming up.

at higher elevations tomorrow and steer says 6 -- steve says this is 6 to eight inches -- six to eight inches of snow fall. crews began bringing in extra equipment and at midnight they began a 24 hour shift to prepare for the storm but the storm may not be their only problem. >> we have miles and miles of construction and it will be slippery, wet and dangerous. >> cal trans began running to keep the roads clear. now we want to check in with ktvu channel 2 news kraig debro who is now there, it looks like -- >> we... >> reporter: we did have some

technical problems with the truck but we have somebody who is a is your john and -- surgeon and we have a booth beyond this beyond where it tells you -- a booth beyond this point where it tells you can not go. it is slushy snow, it is not sticking to the ground and my shoes are getting rather wet here but it is a nice picture to look at. look in that direction you can see the trees and the snow on the ground so it makes for a good picture but we understand that at higher elevations it is sticking so that is good news. in addition to the slushiness and cold roads we are encountering, there is also construction which means if you are driving here you will have to watch out for that as well. >> the worst thing we have got is miles and miles of construction and we are

restricted down to one lane in some places and it will be slippery wet and dangerous. >> reporter: okay so that is cal trans talking about the situation and see this person right here, this person is being made to turn around because they don't have chains. we were given an option to do that and we decided to stay here, but if you get off here it means you are turning and going in the other direction. you can see the cal trans guy makes sure nobody gets through to get on the freeway going up. now it is starting to snow a little bit, you can see the flurries and it is starting to snow and mornings on 2 will have more for you reporting live kraig debro ktvu channel 2 news. >> our storm coverage continues throughout the morning and steve will show you more on that weather as it continues to

move through the area. this is a really close call for three firefighters in ohio. they went into that building seconds before the explosion. look at them crawling out. you can see them crawling there this is the restaurant which caught fire monday afternoon. the owner lives upstairs and was sound asleep at the time. screaming from neighbors woke him up and he got out of that building. >> it sounded like popcorn in my front windy. >> well that restaurant has been part of that community since 1930s and all of the team's memorabilia that was on display there is all gone, destroyed. but incredibly nobody was hurt. >> well that is good news. 6:48 is the time sal, what are you keeping an eye on? bay bridge traffic is going to be slow on parts of the bridge but there is not a huge

back up but there is a backup i don't want to mislead you, it is about a ten to 15 minute wait now. you can see the traffic onto the bridge is crowded and there are also wind advisories, the signs are saying slow down which is one of those things we advise you to do and they are looking at traffic here on the span. it looks pretty good. let's move along and take a look at westbound 237, it is kind of a slow down crossing 880 and stays slow all the way to 101 in pocket and of course we always watch -- we are watching the situation in cupertino at stevens creek boulevard in foot hill and this is a good intersection to avoid. plenty of police activity, so avoid the area, we have a police man on the scene about this shooting and let's go to steve. we have clear skies 49 and clear and that's not the case

from southern marin county south san francisco over to west oakland and san leandro, look at that line that is forming it just went through over the golden gate bridge, very intense around business bane, if you are down there san bruno, we have a couple of tweeters, so you can see from the city over to the bay bridge over to san leandro, this is all moving to the southeast and it looks like towards hayward, san leandro, also san lorenzo and hayward in the next hour so i will delete that and get you to look at it. you can see what is right over the city so there are intense showers and the possibility of hail with that as well. the cold front is gone as well. this is the cold unstable air and we will have some sun, clouds, intense showers, more showers, possible thunder

showers as well. 49 in west santa rosa, cooler air, it will be a cool chilly day. that other line coming in today could definitely give us some brief downpours, high pressure is on the way and it will take a little time to get here. windy sun showers today and on the extend outlook it will be much nicer much warmer with your weekend in view. right now am stock down more than 2% and this morning san sung announced they will take legal action to stop selling its new iphone 4s in italy and france. fans on wall street were disappointed about the announcement the new phone and no apple iphone 5, the stock lost some but did rebound by the close. checking in on the broader market, dow jones industrial average is down about 30 points

to so 778 -- 10778, on the job's front new reports coming out where more jobs were added in the private sector and more layoffs than expected last month so we will keep watching. general motors, it hooks up people who need transportation with car owners who are will to share. they will not say how much they are investing in relay rides but wants to be part of the company if the idea should take off. they also want to provide to those who are borrowing cars. too close for comfort, a pair of mountain lions decided they want to lounge around for a while. traffic the at the toll plaza is getting busy and you can see the metering lights and
